Historically, today (28 Oct) has been a good day for stocks, will it be good today?

[AviatorTom]

Of all the days in a year, 28 October has overall been the best day for stocks since 1950.

What do you think?

Will today (28 October 2025) be another good day for stocks?

The stock market is currently running on faith. There is no value backing the recent soaring prices. Warren Buffet recently sold off about $350k+ worth of stocks. He's hoarding cash. When he makes a move like that wise investors don't ignore it. If you've made a good profit, take it. Remember, you can always buy it back IF you sell a little early. But if you're a little late to sell, you could get lucky, & jlose a little of your gain. But when prices start to fall, the buyer's market can disappear in the blink of an eye & you could lose it all. Take this for what you think it's worth.

Impacted wealth (see:Warren Buffett above) has turned America into an oligarchy.

It isaalmost 1PM and the Dow is up almost 200 points and the other 2 major indexes are showing gains. Corporate earnings have been very good this last quarter and show signs of even more growth. The tax cuts have not even kicked in yet.

Yesterday and today have been very strange days. Up overall but more losers than winners. Here's what the S&P looks like today. Too many retail investors in the market right now driving up the "cool" stocks.

I was never one of the cool kids , cackles hysterically 🙃😧🤔😉

[BonzoInBitburg]

@mysteriousNicholas Don't be a cool kid with investing. Monkey see monkey do is the quickest way to lose all your money. 62% of all stocks went down yesterday but the indexes were higher. It's an AI/Tech bubble and eventually all bubbles burst. A large percentage of people who invested their life savings in the market are a Trump Tweet away from losing it.

@AviatorTom a amusing tale - no advice, no facts and no truth to my following running of my mouth 👄 : "weren't stocks going up (and down) even when Trump transitioned to Biden transitioned to Trump" hmmm 🧠🤔

So it begs the question then, aloud or outloud, markets move as markets move as if their own unrelated entity lol galaxy emoji 🌌 lol 😂 😆

[mysteriousNicholas]

In other words - stocks are anyone's guess

[mysteriousNicholas]

@AviatorTom as if *they're *their own ☺️🙄🌌 lol space god anyone? 😈 Lol space 🌌 rocket 🚀 lol

[mysteriousNicholas]

And I probably should have typed it as *an instead of a, amusing tale. 🎩 Have a good day sir

[mysteriousNicholas]

@AviatorTom and I forgot to tag ya. Darn. Anyways 😅 we move on 🙃🙏🏻

On this day in OCT 29 1929 the stock market crashed.

[Xawyx-2]

Well, economics is my profession, but even I can't be sure.

I'd say it's quite possible.

[Cubus]

Is it because it is just before USA presidential election?

[beefcakebradybatson]

Tues, Oct.29,1929 was a VERY BAD DAY for stocks !!!

[OddBeMe]

Good for whom? Average Americans? No
